Tags: Castle.
The first tower of the Z plan castle was built in 1546. After it was plundered and burned by James Graham the first Marquess of Montrose it was restored in 1645. Extensions were added in 1770 by General James Grant of the American Wars of Independence (whose ghost is said to haunt the castle) and in 1850 by the architect Thomas MacKenzie. Further extensions carried out in 1878 were mostly demolished during and modernisations enacted in 1965.
